Each  session guides you through the use of one of the features of the electronic Collaborative Learning Assessment (e-CLPA). The features include the capability of setting goals, adding samples of your work, keeping a record of your progress through a Learning Journal and conducting self-assessments based on objectives or on CLB levels.
Virtual Classes
These 60 minute classes give you practice with your English skills in reading, writing, speaking and listening.  Classes are repeated in the month so if you miss a session you can still attend another time or if you want to repeat for practice you are welcome.  You can meet up with classmates in these classes and learn from each other.
